How to send a Sri Lankan wedding invitation online (without making Aththamma frown)
The honorifics, the Poruwa, the homecoming — a practical guide for couples sending their wedding invitation digitally without losing the cultural weight.
If you're getting married in Sri Lanka — or you're Sri Lankan getting married anywhere — you already know an invitation isn't just an invitation. It's the first thing every guest sees, the first impression you make as a couple. And honestly? Most online invitation tools were not built with our weddings in mind.
What makes Sri Lankan invitations different
Two things, mostly. Honorifics — Mr. & Mrs. doesn't cover Aththamma, Mahaththaya, or how you address your future in-laws. And multi-event flow — Poruwa, reception, homecoming, mehendi often spread across two or three days, each with its own guest list and time.
The minimum every digital invitation needs
- Names in the right script for the side of the family receiving it
- Auspicious time (Nakath) clearly visible, not buried as fine print
- Poruwa schedule with venue + time for each event
- Print-friendly fallback for guests who need to hand a paper invite to elders
